Posted on May 10, 2015 by Barry Pomeroy

Muck in the Garden

Posted on May 9, 2015 by Barry Pomeroy

Quiet in the Cabin

Posted on May 8, 2015 by Barry Pomeroy

Surprisingly, I took a while to get to sleep, but when I did I slept well and with a few interruptions, right until eleven in the morning. Once I was finally out of bed, and it was chilly in the … Continue reading →
